If you’re loking for a DAW on linux i can recommend Ardour.

Unfortunately some hardware sellers (like canon, ugh) have no linux support. So now whenever I buy something new I research their support before I buy any products.

I was an intermediate user for a long time, but what helped me get more into it was following the archlinux installation guide. Really showed me how the system is build “under the hood”. Like what the difference between a compositor and a window manager is and stuff like that.

Next, if I find the time, I plan to go the gentoo/lfs route, wich is basically building the car from it’s parts.
